this question is direct substitution of options in given expression

by substituting 2,4,8 will be integers

so A,C,G are correct

I can identify that 2^(2x) ≥ x^4 but I am wayyy slow to test all the options... I wish there was a faster way to do so...

\(\frac{2^{2x}}{x^4}\)

basically the stem tells us that for x to be an integer the number x must contain only 2 as a factor and stop

A, C, and G work

E no because 6 is 2*3 not just 2

Hope this helps
